Result of the decision
Approval of the import and/or use of the LMO(s) with conditions
Products derived from corn line MON94804 such as flour (used in bread), meal (used in polenta) and grits (used in cereals) will likely contain novel DNA and if so, will require labelling as 'genetically modified".
EN
Section 1.5.2-4 of the Food Standards code generally requires a food for sale that consists of a GM food or shas a GM food as an ingredient to be labelled as 'genetically modified' unless one off the exemptions listed in that subsection apply. Where required, the label statement 'genetically modified' must be made in conjunction with the name of the GM food (subsection 1.5.2-4(2)). If the GM food is present in the food for sale as an ingredient, this statement may be included in the statement of ingredients for the food for sale (subsection 1.5.2-4(3)).
